My congratulations to the UST Growling Tigers for putting up a good fight and winning the coveted UAAP Men's Basketball Championship yesterday, October 2, 2006.
It is quite difficult to say that the Ateneo Blue Eagles will fight their way back to the championships next year, following the graduation of three of their star players this year: Miracle Man Doug Kramer, Royal Eagle Macky Escalona, and JC "The Rocket" Intal. Hopefully their new recruits would still put up a good fight. Halikinu next year to the future standouts Chris Tiu, Jai Reyes and Eric Salamat.
UST deserved the crown... They were composed all the way. But the Blue Eagles also gave a good show. All it took was one clean shot... 76-74...
Better luck next year (hopefully not in 10 years).
